I would recommend this university because it gives one an experience Spanish culture, politics and the future of Spain. This campus provides sports programs and other organizations that one can get involved in to interact with Spaniards.

Final comments
Meet Spaniards! It is hard to meet them but they are really interesting to interact with. They are really well-rounded people who know a lot about current issues. Don't be surprised if they know something about your country that you did not. Like I said before, join organizations on campus and off to make Spanish friends. One more thing, if you are debating on going, just GO!!

“Constructivo, agradable, y de gran experiencia”

Overall
Los Profesores muy cualificados y muchas de las charlas que tuvimos fueron impartidas por importantes personalidades del ámbito financiero .
Los alumnos éramos de varios paises eso permitió tener opiniones con diferentes visiones y un gran enriquecimiento cultural y experimental,
El Campus es amplio y a su alrededor tiene mucha naturaleza porque esta a las afueras de la ciudad, es muy agradable,
Los servicios son amplios alguno de ellos como las Practicas laborales, son excelentes, en mi experiencia propia puedo decir que tienen una Bolsa de empleo muy amplia con muchas de las empresas importantes del país, mi experiencia la estuve en el Banco de Caja Madrid.

Expenses
Main source of funding:
Personal savings
Other sources of funding:
Family<br>
Government assistance
Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options
Personal spending habits
At home, I tend to be pretty tight with my budget. I don't have the opportunity to travel as much, the nightlife isn't as exciting so I tend to spend wisely. Going to Spain, I KNEW my choices would be much more interesting, so I planned for that. However, the exchange rate was amazing & I ended up spending less than $2500 for the whole semester (i.e. food, entertainment, travel.) My trip to Mallorca was only $200 after all was said & done!

Telephone, Nightlife, Overall, Travel:
was more expensive than at home.
Housing, Food:
was the same price as at home.
Accessibility of student needs
Second-hand household items
Personal comments
I liked using traveler's checks, waiting for a good exchange rate, and then cashing in large amounts. People who used their ATM cards didn't realize how much they were spending. However, with the EURO being in place now, it's easier to determine how much you're actually giving away.

Housing
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
It was extremely expensive to live with a family, but it was a great experience.

Personal comments
It is pretty organized but it is just too expensive, $550 a month to live with a family which included 2 meals and laundry. I would have liked that option of living in an apartment with spanish speaking students as well. But I was lucky, I was definitely integrated into the family eventhough it was a business relationship.

It is fine to gather tips before you leave for another country, but don't rely too heavily on other's impressions of your new host country because your experiences will be totally different. It is best to have no expectations and welcome the many surprises.

Personal recommendation
The level of education you receive will depend on the amount of effort that you put out. This school gives a certain amount of independance that I didn't receive from my home campus. It was the best part of my college education and I want to go back to Spain for graduate school.
